INTRODUCTION The aims of the study were; to evaluate the applicability of the Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston Methods to individuals with a Spanish ancestry, to propose new regression equations using the lower four permanent incisors as predictors for the sum of the widths of the lower permanent canine and premolars, and to compare the new data to those from other populations. METHODS A total of 3...

Reduced rank regression analysis provides maximum likelihood estimators of a matrix of regression coefficients of specified rank and of corresponding linear restrictions on such matrices. These estimators depend on the eigenvectors of an ‘‘effect’’ matrix in the metric of an error covariance matrix. In this paper it is shown that the maximum likelihood estimator of the restrictions can be appro...

the application of stepwise multivariate-linear regression models for determination of particleboard properties based on structural factors was studied. poplar (populus alba), beech (fagus orientaleis) and hornbeam wood (carpinus betulus) with dry density of 460, 630 and 790 kg/m3,respectively, were used as raw materials. three levels of boards target density (520, 620 and 720 kg m-3) and urea ...
